‘I like it when the body of your partner fits yours,’ said another study participant, a male who is 5ft 11in tall.

‘It also makes it easier to kiss, hold hands and do other activities with your partner.'George Yancey, a professor of sociology at the University of North Texas and the study’s lead author, believes that the height preferences of men and women can be explained by traditional societal expectations and gender stereotypes.
